My husband is a US citizen and I have been visiting him for the last 3 years for 6 months on a tourist visa (B1/B2). We have a son who was born in the United States. We are applying for my green card now and I am not sure which forms to fill out for faster processing. From USCIS's website, I downloaded I-130, G-325A (EXPIRED FORM 2/28/15). I am not sure if I should also submit I-485 which is Adjusting of status as I have been in the United states for 3 years and have been leaving the country after every 6 months for few months as I was on B1/B2. Currently, I am in the US and will be here for another 6 months.

My question is: should I submit form I-485 along with I-130 and G325A?

Also, form G325A is expired on USCIS's website. How can I obtain a newer version of the form?

I will really appreciate any help in this matter.

You have to pay the correct fee for each form. The I-130 is $420. The I-485 is $1070. The I-131 and I-765 have the fees waived when filed with a pending I-485, so no extra fees for those 2.

Kindly, clarify if I need to fill in these forms as well while dispatching a packet including I-130 and I-485: 1) I-864, Affidavit of Support 2) I-765, Application for Employment Authorization

OR these are sent later

Many Thanks

Yes. Read the guide that has been linked to you in this thread and another you started. > http://www.visajourney.com/content/i130guide2

You should also read through the actual form instructions for the I-485. Those tell you exactly what other forms and documents you need to go along with it. Do the same with the I-130 instructions.

Not saying this to sound mean or rude, but if you are going to start this process and do it on your own, then you need to research and read through everything, especially form instructions, before filling anything out. We can answer questions you may have along the way, but we cannot read the instructions and fill out the forms for you. If it all seems too much or confusing for you, then seek out an immigration attorney to help you file correctly.
